  • Report on Beetles (Coleoptera) Collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2013 by Dr Martin Luff
    Report on beetles (Coleoptera) collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2013 by Dr Martin Luff. 1. Introduction This year has been a particularly busy one for my work on the beetles of the Estate. I recorded numbers of species on 11 separate dates from April (at the end of the cold spring) through to mid- November. The generally warm and dry summer enabled me to record much more by sweeping herbaceous vegetation around field margins, especially in Hill Park. At the end of May I was assisted by an old friend of mine, and former fellow student, Dr Colin Welch (RCW), who is an authority on the Staphylinidae (rove beetles). I was also provided with the contents of the nest boxes from Dartington Hills in February and September, thanks to Will Wallis and Mike Newby. Finally Mary Bartlett again encouraged me to examine the fauna of her compost heap in November. 2. Results A total of 201 beetle species from 35 families were recorded. This is considerably more than in any previous year that I have collected at Dartington. Of these, 85 species were not recorded in my earlier lists (Luff, 2010-12). The overall number of species that I have recorded from the Estate is now 369, which is almost 10% of the entire British beetle fauna. The bird nest boxes yielded 13 species, with over half being new to the Estate, despite having examined the boxes in previous years; the contents of the boxes were also rather different between spring and autumn, with only four species common to both.

  • Coleoptera from the Middle-Upper Eocene European Ambers: Generic Composition, Zoogeography and Climatic Implications

ALEKSEEV Department of Zootechny, Kaliningrad State Technical University, Sovetsky Avenue 1. 236000, Kaliningrad, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The paper contains a review of coleopteran genera known from Baltic, Bitterfeld and Rovno amber localities. Altogether 420 genera (191 extinct and 229 extant) from 78 families are listed from these three Lagerstätten (as of 7 March 2017). The listed beetles were analyzed zoogeographically and distributional maps for 72 genera were compiled. One-quarter (56) of the genera that have survived since the Eocene have cosmopolitan ranges at present; 35 extant genera have been extripated from the Palaearctic since the Eocene. Approximately 40% of beetle genera from the middle-upper Eocene Eu- ropean ambers can be encountered in the wild in present-day Europe, while 5 of these genera are supposed to be European relict endemics originating in Fennosarmatia. The general similarity of the Baltic amber (s.l.) beetle assemblage to modern south Palaearctic fauna is the strongest, the Nearctic elements are more numerous in the middle-upper Eocene European ambers than the Oriental taxa. The simplified Mutual Climatic Range (MCR) method was used for palaeoclimate recon- struction based on fossil beetles. The coleopteran assemblage of Baltic amber is interpreted as indicative of warm temper- ate, humid, equable climate with reduced thermal seasonality [annual average temperatures range from +10–20˚C; mean of the coldest month temperatures around +10˚C; mean of the hottest month temperature around +20–24˚C; annual pre- cipitation around 750–1500 mm].

ZooKeys 157: 33–44. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.157.1320 Abstract The study of external morphology of the New Caledonian leaf beetle Dematochroma foaensis Jolivet, Ver- ma & Mille (Chrysomelidae, Eumolpinae, Colaspoidini) substantiates its new combination into the ge- nus Rhyparida Baly (Chrysomelidae, Eumolpinae, Nodinini). The species is redescribed here to highlight characters important for suprageneric diagnosis. This is the second species of Nodinini found in New Caledonia, otherwise rich in species of Colaspoidini, raising questions about the paucity of Rhyparida and this tribe in New Caledonian fauna, when they are dominant in surrounding archipelagoes, and very rich in potential source areas such as Australia and New Guinea.

  • Tituboea Purcharti Sp. Nov., the First Representative of Clytrini from Socotra Island (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalin
    ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE Published 17.xii.2012 Volume 52 (supplementum 2), pp. 395–401 ISSN 0374-1036 Tituboea purcharti sp. nov., the fi rst representative of Clytrini from Socotra Island (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae) Jan BEZDĚK Mendel University, Department of Zoology, Zemědělská 1, CZ-613 00 Brno, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Tituboea purcharti sp. nov., the fi rst known species of Clytrini from Socotra Island (Yemen), is decribed and illustrated. The new species belongs to the group of larger species (above 7.0 mm) with not prolonged protarsi, glabrous elytra and not elevated posterior pronotal angles. It is closely related to T. arabica (Olivier, 1808) but differs in slender, fl at aedeagus with prolonged apex and in black pattern on elytra reduced to transverse fascia behind elytral midlength. Key words. Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cryptocephalinae, Clytrini, Tituboea, new species, Yemen, Socotra Introduction The genus Tituboea Lacordaire, 1848, is distributed in the Palaearctic, Oriental and Afro- tropical Regions. REGALIN & MEDVEDEV (2010) listed 62 species from the Palaearctic Region. Recently, additional new species, T. pindai Bezděk, 2011, was described from the United Arab Emirates (BEZDĚK & BATELKA 2011). The species from the Arabian Peninsula were reported and keyed by MEDVEDEV (1979, 1993, 1996, 1997). The chrysomelid fauna of Socotra Island is extremely insuffi ciently known. Until now, only fi ve species were reported: Eryxia socotrana Gahan, 1903, Colasposoma densatum
